This annual anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings
together tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the
first time in book form, including a short novel by Christianna
Brand. Mystery stories have been around for centuries-there are
whodunits, whydunits and howdunits, including locked-room puzzles,
detective stories without detectives, and crimes with a limited
choice of suspects. Countless volumes of such stories have been
published, but some are still impossible to find: stories that
appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long
been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged
or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed
into an author's archive when they died . . . Here for the first
time are three never-before-published mysteries by Edmund Crispin,
Ngaio Marsh and Leo Bruce, and two pieces written for radio by
Gladys Mitchell and H. C. Bailey-the latter featuring Reggie
Fortune. Together with a newly unearthed short story by Ethel Lina
White that inspired Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, and a complete
short novel by Christianna Brand, this diverse mix of tales by some
of the world's most popular classic crime writers contains
something for everyone. Complete with indispensable biographies by
Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, the fourth volume in the
series Bodies from the Library once again brings into the daylight
the forgotten, the lost and the unknown.
